Our Story
Air Fryer Australia was born in 2020 from a simple realisation: Australians were increasingly interested in air fryers, but there wasn't a dedicated local resource to help them navigate the growing market. As home cooks ourselves, we understood the confusion of choosing between basket-style and oven-style air fryers, debating wattage requirements for Australian power outlets, and figuring out which capacity was right for a family of four versus a couple.
What started as a personal project—testing air fryers in our own kitchens and documenting the results—has grown into a comprehensive resource trusted by thousands of Australian households. We've cooked countless batches of chips, experimented with everything from crispy chicken wings to delicate pavlovas, and learned the quirks and capabilities of dozens of different air fryer models along the way.
Our approach is straightforward: we test products in real Australian kitchens, cook the foods Australian families actually eat, and provide honest assessments without the marketing fluff. We know the difference between Rapid Air technology and traditional convection, understand why some non-stick coatings last longer than others, and can explain the practical differences between preset programs and manual temperature control.
What We Believe
We believe that healthier cooking shouldn't be complicated or expensive. Air frying offers a genuine way to reduce oil consumption without sacrificing the crispy textures we love in fried foods. Whether you're a busy parent looking for quick weeknight dinners, a health-conscious individual managing your diet, or simply someone who wants perfectly cooked chips without the deep fryer mess, there's an air fryer solution for you.
We also believe in transparency. Every product recommendation on our site includes clear disclosure when affiliate links are used. Our reviews are based on actual testing, not manufacturer specifications. When a product disappoints, we say so—our reputation depends on providing advice you can trust.
Our Commitment to You
Every guide we publish goes through careful research and real-world testing. We stay current with the latest models hitting the Australian market, update our content as products evolve, and continuously expand our recipe collection based on reader feedback. Our goal isn't just to help you buy an air fryer—it's to help you use it confidently and get genuine value from your investment.
We're always eager to hear from our community. If you have questions about a specific model, need help troubleshooting a cooking technique, or simply want to share your own air frying discoveries, we're here to help. Air frying has transformed how we cook, and we're passionate about sharing that experience with every Australian kitchen.
